Cool, loved Shenmue on the Dreamcast. Hope this is rumour true and the game lives up to it's predecessors.

Should be in for a good E3 in 2008... I'm still trying to wangle getting a ticket.

1.2 - WHY UNREAL ENGINE?
shenmue one of my favourite games of all time but come unreal engine is soo overused and old now.

why not if on sonys console talk to insomniac or guerilla about licensing their engines which are really impressive uncharted/ killzone and resistance2 come to mind

I think for Shenmue III to be made it would have to outsource some kind of engine. SEGA probably wouldn't allow Yu to tinker with an engine, the game would just rack up the cash far too quickly. If Shenmue III ever got the green light, it would just be to let Yu finish what he started without bankrupting the company again.

Agee with 1.2.... UE3 engine is way overused.

I dislike the engine cuz even though it present very clear textures, everything seems so shiny and plasticy and characters r usually as buff as any WWE or sumthing wrestlers. I don't want to see that in shenmue!

Well if the do with the Wii at least they'll make enough money to have a rocket removed.

Shenmue's biggest in Japan, as is the Wii so.... But I'm crossing my fingers they decide to go with the big boys.

2.2 - Just because it stars japanese characters it automatically
means its biggest in Japan? Maybe... but according to VGchartz Shenmue 1 sold the most copies in the US, Japan 2nd then EU.

No sorry, I obviously I don't religiously check sales numbers, I go on personal experience, more of my japanese friends are interested/enjoy Shenmue more than my western friends.

But my claim had NOTHING to do with ethics. I have spent a lot of my life in Asia, I don't type cast.

Rumors have been floating around since Shenmue 2. I need to see it before I believe it.

I don't think it will ever come out. It didn't make a profit and it cost them a ton of money.

I don't want to get my hopes up because this rumor always pops up around E3 time, but I can't help it. I can only hope it's not another disappointment... Beyond Good and Evil 2 might be a good omen, though.

It's the version of the Unreal engine that Gears 2 uses that they are licensing.

To me the big question is not what engine they will be using, it's wether Yu Suzuki will be producing it or not.

Have to add that I don't believe the rumor is true.

"Hi Tom."
The name was Tom Johnson. I spent hours playing my tapes at his truck because I didn't want to use my batteries.
"I've never seen such a cold stare man."

The Tomato Convenience store was the ****. The drawing game, the higher chance at christmas and finally winning a game and then playing at your house... oh, beautiful memories. Everytime after I played, I tried to find those little boxes of caramel in the supermarkets here.
One time, I picked something up to look at it and then did the same turning motion Ryo did. Boy, was I scared.

15 - Shenmue is not comming to Wii...
If this game comes out then I would expect it to be on 360 if anything since the Unreal Engeen will not work on the wii and also that Shenmue 2 also came out on the Xbox. If Nintendo gets anything from all this would be the original shenmue that came on dreamcast. I just hope it's not a rumor and I wounder what happen to the canncelled Shenmue online? Hmm.. youtube it if you guys never heard of it.

Man I still have a copy of Shenmue for DC in my closet somewhere. Never played the second one since I heard AM2 studios gave up on the third installment since it wasn't financially viable. I agree with some of the comments above regarding the use of blue ray to really expend the universe that is Shenmue. If it's released it'll be likely on 360 unfortunately.

This is not either a rumor. Is only a final comment from the editor. SEGA have a new UE3 license. And he said, perhaps Shenmue 3?

25 - If this is true...
I will be quite happy. Shenmue 1 and 2 were some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. They had some kind of magic to them that is hard to explain. Fans and everyone needs this game to come out. If its not true, my heart isn't broken, Sega broke it too many times already.
